Multiple sites per tenant.

[chrisfranklin]

I would like to enable support for django.contrib.sites for tenants. To do this I propose adding an extra model. I propose we call the model ClientSite and have a ForeignKey relationship to Client (or the abstract model it inherits from). What do you reckon? Does this sound feasible?

[chrisfranklin]

The other way to do this would be with wildcard subdomains e.g.

tn1.example.com - First site record
site1.tn1.example.com - Second site record

Perhaps with a package such as: https://github.com/tkaemming/django-subdomains

I am aware that using the above approach is a design decision for me to take, my question is does the current middleware ignore subdomains or will it try and treat them as separate clients and therefore separate schemas?

[bernardopires]

Could you please elaborate why you need the sites app? Wildcard subdomains are not possible right now, but you can have as many subdomains as you want pointing to the same schema. Is this a reasonable solution? I'd avoid creating a new model.

[chrisfranklin]

Yeah I just need multiple sub domains on one schema, it should just be a case of stripping the sub domain off like you are doing with www and dev in the middleware.

[bernardopires]

If you don't need wildcard subdomains and you know exactly which subdomains you need, you should actually be able to do this without having the change the middleware. Each subdomain has to be a tenant, but they can use the same schema. You can have one tenant for tn1.example.com and another tenant for site1.tn1.example.com, and both pointing to the same schema.

chris can i close this or do you have any other question?

Does this mean that sites listed as mandatory in the docs is incorrect?

TENANT_APPS = (
    # The following Django contrib apps must be in TENANT_APPS
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sites',

(install.html)

Thanks

Hi Brad,

I'd very grateful if you could test again if these contrib apps are still
mandatory. I fixed an issue last week with how tenants are synced so there
shouldn't be any mandatory apps anymore. The sites app is for sure not
mandatory, I myself don't use it.

I'll try to test them, sure. Still have very patchy results for now so will be a while before I can test with any confidence.
